Holdemanager import

[rewket]

Is it possible to import hands from Holdem manager to PT3? i really hate holdem manager and want to move my database to pt3.
I tried to import all my saved HH but for some reason PT3 is missing my downswing from the end of this month which skews the resulsts.


tried to search but it said i cannot use the search function

What site are you playing on? Is it possible that the hand histories for this 'downswing' are simply not there?

To be honest, I am not very familiar with HM but I suspect there should be a way to export your hand histories to the hard drive. It would not surprise me though if there was not. In that case do the following:

(Credit to _dave_ for providing this)
Open a command prompt on the computer running postgresql (Start -> Run -> "cmd" [Enter]), type (or copy/paste) the line below.

Change the database name "HM_DB1" to your Holdem Manager database name and change the txt file names at the end if you like.

Code: Select all

psql -A -t -d "HM_DB1" -U postgres -c "select handhistory from handhistories;" -o hm_hh.txt


it should chug for a while and make some big text files which you can manually import into PokerTracker 3. (It may be wise to do this on a new database so that all of the duplicates do not slow down the import process).

Best regards,

Derek

bump. i'm having some issues to import from HEM to the latest version of PT3. speaking of raw hands and they're totally different when exported from HEM than from PT3.
surprisingly, it's importing MTT hands but not any single cash game. any help? thanks.

What site is this for? Do you have (or can you get) the original hand histories?

ongame, latest client (java). original hh is hard/impossible to get, only the ones exported from hem in "raw" format. somehow PT3 seriously owns hem when HH exporting is in question.

Hands written by the current OnGame software are in plain text so should be exactly the same after the import, but neither PT3 or HEM deletes any hand history files, they are just moved after import so unless you deleted them yourself you should still have them.
If they were imported by HEM they will have been moved to C:\HMArchive by default.
